I guess it’s a sign of how much damage has been done to Cyke’s character in recent years that I can’t see him doing this today. I can’t line up the man who could allow students to be put through a literal cage match by their headmistress, who would put an abused and manipulated girl on a covert death squad, who would defend the use of child soldiers, and who would kick his own granddaughter while she was down on the ground with one who’d be able to scrape up the empathy necessary to comfort a traumatized and heartbroken child.
This saddens me to an incredible degree.

I remember Ckye going with Jono to pick up Nicky Gleason and carrying him fast asleep from the Blackbird. I think that’s the last time I saw him being like that with one of the ‘kids’. If there is an aspect of Scott Summers personality I miss; it’s that one.
It was also mentioned in Carey’s first chapter of Endangered Species that Scott was the one who did the recruiting for the school before M-Day — talked to the parents, met with the kids, etc. It seemed fitting then.
